Best Butcher Shop

No, that’s not a typo. While Getaway Farm Butcher Shop has routinely taken home the gold as Halifax’s Best Butcher Shop, this year it’s the similarly-named Gateway Meat Market in Dartmouth that our readers have chosen as the city’s greatest meat movers. The Main Street butchery, independently owned and operated since 2008, has all the chicken, pork and beef products carnivores crave, plus deli meats, frozen product and a healthy assortment of dog food and treats. All that, and there’s a weekly $100 meat draw.
